She's Out Of My Life
Josh Groban Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late
And she's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
Kept my love for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
In She's Out Of My Life, Josh Groban sings about the painful realization of losing someone he loved deeply. The lyrics express his confusion and emotions about the situation, as he doesn't know whether to laugh or cry, live or die, and the pain he feels is compared to a knife cutting deep. The first two lines of the chorus are repeated twice, underscoring the sense of finality, as if the person he loved has died.
The second verse suggests that the loss was caused by taking the relationship for granted, being too carefree, and cavalier. He now realizes how much he loved her, but it's too late as the love is out of his hands. In the third verse, he comes to terms with the lesson he has learned after the breakup: that love is not a possession, but rather something that needs constant expression, which he failed to provide. The final lines of the chorus are repeated twice, once again highlighting the profound sense of loss and regret.
Overall, She's Out Of My Life is a poignant ballad about the pain and aftermath of a breakup. It serves as a reminder that love is fleeting, and one can never assume that someone they love will always be there.
